<content type='text'>
commit 4e19d6b65fb4fc42e352ce9883649e049da14743 upstream.

The largedir feature was intended to allow ext4 directories to have
unmapped directory blocks (e.g., directory holes).  And so the
released e2fsprogs no longer enforces this for largedir file systems;
however, the corresponding change to the kernel-side code was not made.

This commit fixes this oversight.

<title>ext4: Support case-insensitive file name lookups</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b886ee3e778ec2ad43e276fd378ab492cf6819b7</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch implements the actual support for case-insensitive file name
lookups in ext4, based on the feature bit and the encoding stored in the
superblock.

A filesystem that has the casefold feature set is able to configure
directories with the +F (EXT4_CASEFOLD_FL) attribute, enabling lookups
to succeed in that directory in a case-insensitive fashion, i.e: match
a directory entry even if the name used by userspace is not a byte per
byte match with the disk name, but is an equivalent case-insensitive
version of the Unicode string.  This operation is called a
case-insensitive file name lookup.

The feature is configured as an inode attribute applied to directories
and inherited by its children.  This attribute can only be enabled on
empty directories for filesystems that support the encoding feature,
thus preventing collision of file names that only differ by case.

* dcache handling:

For a +F directory, Ext4 only stores the first equivalent name dentry
used in the dcache. This is done to prevent unintentional duplication of
dentries in the dcache, while also allowing the VFS code to quickly find
the right entry in the cache despite which equivalent string was used in
a previous lookup, without having to resort to -&gt;lookup().

d_hash() of casefolded directories is implemented as the hash of the
casefolded string, such that we always have a well-known bucket for all
the equivalencies of the same string. d_compare() uses the
utf8_strncasecmp() infrastructure, which handles the comparison of
equivalent, same case, names as well.

For now, negative lookups are not inserted in the dcache, since they
would need to be invalidated anyway, because we can't trust missing file
dentries.  This is bad for performance but requires some leveraging of
the vfs layer to fix.  We can live without that for now, and so does
everyone else.

* on-disk data:

Despite using a specific version of the name as the internal
representation within the dcache, the name stored and fetched from the
disk is a byte-per-byte match with what the user requested, making this
implementation 'name-preserving'. i.e. no actual information is lost
when writing to storage.

DX is supported by modifying the hashes used in +F directories to make
them case/encoding-aware.  The new disk hashes are calculated as the
hash of the full casefolded string, instead of the string directly.
This allows us to efficiently search for file names in the htree without
requiring the user to provide an exact name.

* Dealing with invalid sequences:

By default, when a invalid UTF-8 sequence is identified, ext4 will treat
it as an opaque byte sequence, ignoring the encoding and reverting to
the old behavior for that unique file.  This means that case-insensitive
file name lookup will not work only for that file.  An optional bit can
be set in the superblock telling the filesystem code and userspace tools
to enforce the encoding.  When that optional bit is set, any attempt to
create a file name using an invalid UTF-8 sequence will fail and return
an error to userspace.

* Normalization algorithm:

The UTF-8 algorithms used to compare strings in ext4 is implemented
lives in fs/unicode, and is based on a previous version developed by
SGI.  It implements the Canonical decomposition (NFD) algorithm
described by the Unicode specification 12.1, or higher, combined with
the elimination of ignorable code points (NFDi) and full
case-folding (CF) as documented in fs/unicode/utf8_norm.c.

NFD seems to be the best normalization method for EXT4 because:

  - It has a lower cost than NFC/NFKC (which requires
    decomposing to NFD as an intermediary step)
  - It doesn't eliminate important semantic meaning like
    compatibility decompositions.

Although:

  - This implementation is not completely linguistic accurate, because
  different languages have conflicting rules, which would require the
  specialization of the filesystem to a given locale, which brings all
  sorts of problems for removable media and for users who use more than
  one language.

<title>fscrypt: fix race where -&gt;lookup() marks plaintext dentry as ciphertext</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b01531db6cec2aa330dbc91bfbfaaef4a0d387a4</id>
<content type='text'>
-&gt;lookup() in an encrypted directory begins as follows:

1. fscrypt_prepare_lookup():
    a. Try to load the directory's encryption key.
    b. If the key is unavailable, mark the dentry as a ciphertext name
       via d_flags.
2. fscrypt_setup_filename():
    a. Try to load the directory's encryption key.
    b. If the key is available, encrypt the name (treated as a plaintext
       name) to get the on-disk name.  Otherwise decode the name
       (treated as a ciphertext name) to get the on-disk name.

But if the key is concurrently added, it may be found at (2a) but not at
(1a).  In this case, the dentry will be wrongly marked as a ciphertext
name even though it was actually treated as plaintext.

This will cause the dentry to be wrongly invalidated on the next lookup,
potentially causing problems.  For example, if the racy -&gt;lookup() was
part of sys_mount(), then the new mount will be detached when anything
tries to access it.  This is despite the mountpoint having a plaintext
path, which should remain valid now that the key was added.

Of course, this is only possible if there's a userspace race.  Still,
the additional kernel-side race is confusing and unexpected.

Close the kernel-side race by changing fscrypt_prepare_lookup() to also
set the on-disk filename (step 2b), consistent with the d_flags update.

<content type='text'>
In order to have a common code base for fscrypt "post read" processing
for all filesystems which support encryption, this commit removes
filesystem specific build config option (e.g. CONFIG_EXT4_FS_ENCRYPTION)
and replaces it with a build option (i.e. CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION) whose
value affects all the filesystems making use of fscrypt.

use of the generic IS_ENCRYPTED() macro to check for the encryption
status of an inode.

<content type='text'>
If we receive a file handle, either from NFS or open_by_handle_at(2),
and it points at an inode which has not been initialized, and the file
system has metadata checksums enabled, we shouldn't try to get the
inode, discover the checksum is invalid, and then declare the file
system as being inconsistent.

This can be reproduced by creating a test file system via "mke2fs -t
ext4 -O metadata_csum /tmp/foo.img 8M", mounting it, cd'ing into that
directory, and then running the following program.

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;

struct handle {
	struct file_handle fh;
	unsigned char fid[MAX_HANDLE_SZ];
};

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	struct handle h = {{8, 1 }, { 12, }};

	open_by_handle_at(AT_FDCWD, &amp;h.fh, O_RDONLY);
	return 0;
}
